heck if i know what you ordered

I assume it's too silly of a title to mention, since you can't come right out and tell me. It's silly anyway, since you can't watch it. Also silly that you'd buy an import when for all you know, a domestic version could be released soon. But all of your buying decisions thus far have been stupid and your posts are getting more idiotic and desperate by the day.

>>His comments made perfect sense and were based on reasonable observations about this war and facts; <<

But there were no facts in his blog. It was a bunch of half truths spun to demonize Sony and Blu-ray. Now that may seem factual if you're an airhead, but even you can't be so gullible as to believe any pro-HD DVD blog you read.

>> your decision to take pot-shots at the messenger rather than address the well founded points he presented is typical fan-boy schtick. <<

I did address his points and showed why they are anything but well-founded. But yes, I did find it pretty darn funny to click the "about the blogger" link and find out this nut was a socialist astronomer who is out of work and on MS's MVP list for free software. I mean, you couldn't have picked a more idiotic "expert" and if you just poked into the identity of your hero du jour for a moment, you would have realized he is an MS crackpot with no expertise in the HD formats and no finger on the pulse of the developments among the heavy hitters.

>> Here are more links of balanced observations about the HD/BD war:
http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/toshibas-portable-hd-dvd-player-prototypes/ <<

This is a link for toshiba's prototypes of HD DVD players that look more like lame, inflexible laptops that deliver only one application. Sounds like a real winner...if they introduce these, they'll have to end up slashing prices and giving them away like their standalone players. This isn't a balanced observation about the war; it's PR for an upcoming product that may never be introduced if HD DVD continues to lose market share to Blu-ray.

>> http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_high_def_dvd_format_is_better_Blu-Ray_or_HD-DVD <<

This is simply a question/answer post by someone who identifies himself as "superwoody". Meaning he wants people to think he has a big erection. I highly doubt this person is qualified to answer questions relating to Blu-ray or HD DVD and I see numerous factual errors in his post, as would anyone who follows the technologies.

>>http://asymptomatic.net/2007/01/05/31/my-understanding-of-the-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-format-war <<

This is a silly blog full of misinformation, not unlike the socialist's blog you liked. It's called "My Understanding of the Blu-ray vs HD-DVD Format War" and reads like a schoolkid's essay on "What I did for summer vacation". How you could mistake this crap for "empirical evidence" let alone a knowledgeable unbiased source points to your own idiocy. Most of the people replying to the blog seem more knowledgeable than the author does.

>> http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/35649/113/ <<

Auph, this reads like a list of reasons Blu-ray will win, with a couple comments after each one to the effect, "but it's still early and no one knows what will happen".

>> There are lots more, but why should I waste my time feeding internet Dramamine to a pompom shaking fan-boy who prefers spinning ad nauseam to regaining his balance? ;0) <<

Did I say "even you can't be so stupid to believe every HD DVD blog you read"? Gosh, you sure proved me wrong. You ARE that stupid.

It doesn't look like Universal will make a move until they've fully assessed the Warner impact. - oscar 10:18:12 01/17/08 (38)

Assessing has nothing to do with it. Ken Graffeo's idiotic stance is all this is about - Jazz Inmate 10:34:09 01/17/08 (37)
